; the ppu takes two frames to initialize, so we have some time to do whatever
; initialization of our own that we want to while we wait. we choose here to
; set up cpu flags in the first frame and clear out system ram in the second
; frame (clearing out ram isn't at all necessary, but we can't do anything
; useful at this point anyway, so we may as well in order to make things more
; predictable).
